EGGS AND POULTRY.

The active demand that has been
growing for eggs and poultry chicks
has caused attention to be turned to
this branch of farm industry, much to
the benefit of the poultry and the in
crease of the products. If in the past
there has been feeling that hens and
turkeys were well enough fixed when
allowed to find perches or roosting-
places among the branches of trees,
that idea has been so modified that
now, even farmers, who make no pre-
tensions to any professional skill in the
management of poultry, provide for
them comfortable houses.
There is no reason why fowl is not
affected by cold as much as any other
animal, and as a consequence should
require an additional amount of food
to maintain normal condition of
heat. If then there is unnecessary
exposure there must be greatly in
creased feeding, or else there is an ex-
haustion of heat-forming principles
already stored in the body of the fowl.
This condition of things is avoided if
a warm house is provided, with win
dows and a southern exposure. This
fact is becoming SO well understood
that hen houses are now considered
to be an important appendage to ev-
cry farm. But the advantage does
not rest wholly in the saving of feed.
1t is recognized fact that hens will
not lay in severely cold weather if
they are too much exposed. On the
contrary, where there is good shelter,
with the suns rays shining in during
the middle of the day, accompanied
with suitable food, eggs may be Sc
cured as well in winter as in summer.
Neglect in any branch of farming
brings its fruits of disaster, and in
this poultry keeping finds no excep-
ton.
Hens should be comfortably fed with
variety of food, and comfortably
warmed. 1t has an excellent effect
upon laying hens to provide them, say
once day, with mess Of corn and
oats mixed, that have been thoroughly
heated by soaking in scalding water.
Corn meal, scalded and seasoned with
red pepper or ginger, also serves
good purpose.
Chopped cabbage, apples, ETC., are
an excellent change of food, and pro-
ductive of benefit to fowls. Broken
oyster shells, old crockery, and
crushed bones should be reasonably
fed, and above all keep supply of
clean water or skinned milk. Also
provide sand or ash, both with sulphur
mixed, to keep off vermin, and poultry
will respond with eggs.

There is no soil that can be consid-
cred as inexhaustible in fertility. II
may produce large crops for many
years, but every pound of substance
removed from it takes away so much,
and sooner or later the yield will be-
gin gradually to lessen. Especially is
this true when the soil has been de-
voted to only one kind of crop. On
the rich soils of the West the land was
kept in corn year after year, with
good yields as the result, but time
proved the error of SO doing. The
true mode of cultivation is by judi
cious system of rotation. The soil
may fail to produce certain crops and
yet be rich and well adapted to some
other kind. The three great elements
OF fertility are nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash, to which we may add
lime, and as long as the soil contains
these elements it will be capable of
growing any crop suitable to the eli
mate; but the different crops do not
all feed alike, some requiring an ex-
cess of certain elements that are not
in demand to such an extent by 9TH
ers. A crop of wheat takes away a
large proportion of nitrogen and
phosphoric acid, but requires smaller
proportion of potash. 1t is plain that
by growing wheat on the land for sew
eral years the nitrogen and phospho-
lie acid would be largely reduced in
quantity, while the land would be
still rich in potash. By growing some
other crop that thriyes best on potash,
as clover, the soil would still be capa-
bic of yielding bountifully, while the
roots and stubble of the clover would
return portion of the nitrogen re-
CURED for succeeding crop. BY ro-
tation, therefore, the plant food is not
only proportional to different crops,
but system of renovation Of the soil
is also the result. No matter what
crops may be grown, it cannot be de-
MED that something cannot be derived
from nothing, and manure and fertil-
izers are always beneficial; yet the
best system is that which utilities the
storage capacity of the plants to de-
| rive a portion of the elements re-
quired from the atmosphere, and rota-
| ton is thus of valuable assistance.
The inert matter of the soil is reduced
to solubility, the rains assist the roots
to store up matter, and the soil is bet
ter enabled to supply the proper food
| reuuired for each nlant

Almost remarkable occurrence followed
a negro funeral at Mount Pleasant,
Tenn, about sixty miles south of Nash
virN.. Tuesday, nine negroes being killed
by single stroke of lightning. A large
party followed the remains of Harriet
Terry to the grave. The usual cere-
monies at the grave were performed,
and as the last prayer had been said an
ominous cloud came up from the east.
The party had scarcely left the grave
when one of the most severe thunder
and rain storms ever known in that
section burst on them. All immediately
made break for the various trees
scattered around the grave yard
Scarcely had those who were killed
reached the shelter of an immense oak
when the tree was struck by lightning.
The whole party Of nine fell down
together. and died instantly.

Prohibition in Texas.

The most energetic campaign that the
Prohibitionists ever wagered in this coun-
try is IN progress in Texas. Yet, sin
gularly enough, there appears to be
little interest manifested in the result by
the leaders of the Northern political Pro-
hibition party. Mr.. st. John, the late
candidate of that party for President, is
iunketing around the North receiving
oyations and lecturing for pay. He dis
played his handsome moustache and his
oratory at racine, Wis, the other day,
where no prohibition or license issue is
pending, while the burden and the toll
of the Texas campaign are born by
local enthusiasts and laborers. The
Northern lights of Prohibition are care
fully avoiding Texas, leaving the fight
there to take care of itself. 1t would APP
pear that the Prohibition politicians are
much more anxious to defeat the Repub-
licans at the North than to secure vic
tory for Prohibition at the South.
The election on the question of Prohi-
bition in Texas will occur August L.
The Galveston News (Anti-Prohibition

AM ACOIDENTAL DEATH,

Coroner MIX Decides that Charles F.
 Warner Found Dead I'm Branford
 Was Not Murdered.
 Coroner Eli Mix has come to the conclu- sion that Charles F. Warner, who was found lying dead near the railroad track at Bran ford Sunday morning, met an accidental death. A few people in Branford leaned towards the opinion that Warner was first murdered for 0 few dollars he was said to have in his pocket and then thrown on the track to be cut to pieces. When found War; ner's skull was fractured. He was employed at the Branford iron works. He is known to have left saloon near his house about II o'clock Saturday night with $7 or S6 in his pocket. That was the last seen of him alive. The place where the body was found is a mile from the saloon in an opposise direction from his house. No money was found on the body.
 Coroner Mix says: F'There is absolutely nothing that indicates foul play. Ont in Branford learned that he called at his house about o'clock Saturday night. His sister says he took away piano stool, but I think she is mistaken about 1t. It was his violin that he carried away and that he left in Bulkley's saloon, where he had been playing on it all the evening"
 Coroner Mix is trying to find out what en- zine struck Warner. He has requested the engine wipers in the roundhouse to inform him if they find blood on the cowcatchers of any of the Shore Line engines.

 The Sabbath school concert at the M.

The pull pit and the altar were handsomely decorated with flowers for the occasion. The teachers and scholars occupied the front seats. MT. B. F. Humphrey, the superintendent, was in charge. The children acquitted themselves admirably in their recitations, especially those of the infant classes. The singing oi the school and the choir of the church was excellent. MT. Joseph Austin and William F. Mosher each sang a solo in a very fine style. The audience was very highly pleased
 with their excellent rendering of them. Tht Sabbath school is in very fourishing con
 dition, as well as is the church. The Rev
 Mir. Thorpe, the pastor, and the superintend ent, MT. Humphrey, are very enthusiastic II their good work. Several new members have
 been added to the church since April under MT. Thorpe's pastorate.

On another occa sion she was told to wash some clans read for cooking. On hearing great commotio
